Insider tips

Bring a light jacket as the high elevation makes the park significantly windier and cooler than the city center.

Wear comfortable walking shoes to navigate the various terraced paths and stairs throughout the site.

Visit during the early evening to view the city lights as they emerge across the valley.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to climb the hillside mosaic, as the terrain is steep and restricted for safety and preservation reasons.
